Interview: Ubuntu and Wine Expert Scott Ritchie
,----[ Quote ]
| WorksWithU: Anything else you’d like to mention?
|
| Ritchie: Yes, code analysis tools. Wine’s benefited quite a bit from the
| static tools (Coverity and Smatch), which run free scans of Wine as a form
| of marketing. Valgrind is the most interesting however - There’s been work
| to slowly clear up all the valgrind warnings that Wine itself is generating.
| Once those are clear, you could in principle build/run a Windows application
| with Winelib and Valgrind
| and use it to find errors that wouldn’t be possible to find on Windows
| itself.
|
| Which, once word gets out, means we very well may see Windows developers
| testing with Winelib relatively early in the process even if their target
| platform is Windows — the Winelib/Linux port just sort of happens as a nice
| side effect - since valgrind is Linux only.

Gaming on Linux: I’ll Stick With Wine, Please
,----[ Quote ]
| In general, there are a lot of reasons to avoid wine and promote native Linux
| software instead. But when it comes to gaming, I think that developers are
| best off relying on wine as a vehicle to the Linux desktop. Vendors should
| make sure their games will run well on wine, rather than delving into the
| much muckier work of writing native Linux games.
